IBM and Red Hat

I am curious to know from senior members here about the deal from M&A perspective. I see the words "growth synergies" being used instead of "cost synergies". Article: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-2… Does cost synergy mean closing off product lines and reducing headcount?
